How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Refrigerant is under pressure and must be handled by certified personnel.

  • Visual leak check: Look for oil stains on flare joints, coils, and service valves, which indicate leaks.

  • Technician service: A licensed technician should perform leak detection (soap solution, electronic detector), repair leaks, evacuate, and recharge the system to Viessmann specifications.
